Besides removing the monolithic DevFSDeviceInode::determine_name()
method, being able to determine a device's name inside the /dev
hierarchy outside of DevFS has its uses.
..and allow implicit creation of KResult and KResultOr from ErrnoCode.
This means that kernel functions that return those types can finally
do "return EINVAL;" and it will just work.
There's a handful of functions that still deal with signed integers
that should be converted to return KResults.
These changes are arbitrarily divided into multiple commits to make it
easier to find potentially introduced bugs with git bisect.Everything:
The modifications in this commit were automatically made using the
following command:
find . -name '*.cpp' -exec sed -i -E 's/dbg\(\) << ("[^"{]*");/dbgln\(\1\);/' {} \;
The partitioning code was very outdated, and required a full refactor.
The new subsystem removes duplicated code and uses more AK containers.
The most important change is that all implementations of the
PartitionTable class conform to one interface, which made it possible
to remove unnecessary code in the EBRPartitionTable class.
Finding partitions is now done in the StorageManagement singleton,
instead of doing so in init.cpp.
Also, now we don't try to find partitions on demand - the kernel will
try to detect if a StorageDevice is partitioned, and if so, will check
what is the partition table, which could be MBR, GUID or EBR.
Then, it will create DiskPartitionMetadata object for each partition
that is available in the partition table. This object will be used
by the partition enumeration code to create a DiskPartition with the
correct minor number.
The DevFS along with DevPtsFS give a complete solution for populating
device nodes in /dev. The main purpose of DevFS is to eliminate the
need of device nodes generation when building the system.
Later on, DevFS will assist with exposing disk partition nodes.
